Simon woke to the sound of his alarm clock. It was Sunday morning and
it would be time to go to church soon. Simon was a very devout
Catholic and couldn’t remember ever missing a Sunday service. This
Sunday would be one that would not only haunt him for the rest of his
days, but reveal a secret about him he would want to forget.

He was a very
ritualistic man. Every morning he would get up, shower, brush his
teeth, and get dressed. His closet and dresser contained no variety.
Every over-shirt was the same type of button-down, long-sleeve, white
shirt. Every under-shirt was a simple white t-shirt, no pocket. Every
pair of pants was a pair of black slacks, and every pair of socks and
underwear were also black. When he was younger, Simon used to get
made fun of for how he dressed. Now, being an adult with very few
friends, or people who saw him frequently, he didn’t hear anything
about the way he dressed any more.

Simon finished up his
typical morning breakfast-- two scrambled eggs and some dry white
toast, checked his watch and left for church. He lived just down the
road from the church, so he would walk there. He preferred to walk
anyway, as his vehicle was in poor shape and with the air
conditioning not working with the summer heat, knew he would have
been uncomfortable anyway.

He arrived at church
and sat on the second to the last bench on the right-hand side facing
the altar. Simon liked that this was not a particularly popular
church. He didn’t like crowds, as they made him irritable. It was a
small church and it wasn’t in the best part of town. Most the
patrons weren’t regulars. It seemed there was never more than a
dozen or so people at any given service. It also looked as though
most were just there to get indoors, rather than for the actual
service. This upset Simon a great deal, but he tried not to let it
phase his coming to hear the sermon.

Little did he know,
this Sunday would be truly unique.

Chapter
Two – New Sensation

Simon opened his
bible turned to where the last sermon had left off. The priest was
somewhat erratic and while Simon was fairly sure service wouldn’t
start there, he liked to be refreshed on what was discussed the
previous week.

Then, she walked in. Simon couldn’t believe
how his eyes couldn’t look away from this tall, beautiful woman.
She was wearing a tight fitting red dress that showed her hourglass
figure. She had long, flowing blond hair. While many other people may
not have noticed, Simon also noted her immaculate posture. He was
even more surprised that she caught his eye, as he rarely paid
attention to any lust inducing appearances. He had never even dated
before, and the concept of sex was almost completely foreign to him.

She walked past
him and sat two rows in front of him, closer to the aisle than he
was. He quickly realized he must be staring at her and darted his
eyes down toward his open bible. He felt strange. His heart was
beating rapidly, his palms began to sweat, and he couldn’t
concentrate. He kept trying to read the section his bible was open
to, but the words didn’t make any sense. He looked up again, trying
not to be noticed. There she was, just sitting. Simon started to
think the most awful, lustful, things about her.

He then realized
that it would all just have to be his imagination. He had no idea how
to approach a woman. He had never even asked a woman out and wasn’t
sure how to go about it.

His mind then started
to show him all the horrible failures that would ensue if he tried.
First, he daydreamed about walking up to her and just saying hello
and asking if he could sit next to her. In his vision she started
laughing frantically at him and he had to leave the church due to
embarrassment. Then, he thought he could wait until the end of the
service and approach her to say hello. Again, his mind played the
cruel trick on him only showing failure. This time not only did she
laugh but said to him ‘how dare he approach her’, and how he was
‘inferior’.
